lotus

Nobody tells you college is lonely.

Lotus is a number you text. One odd question a day, then a Thursday hangout with the people who said the same thing. Friends first.

How texting works

Lotus is a text-message service run by a UC Berkeley student for adults 18 and over at Berkeley. You join by texting JOIN to the Lotus number from your own phone and replying Y to confirm. Nobody is added from a list or a form. After that, Lotus sends replies to what you text, up to one optional question a day, and the plans you join: the invitation, the spot, a reminder that day, and the private question the morning after.

Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply HELP for help, STOP to opt out at any time.

The number is waiting on carrier approval. Until it clears, the button above opens the same bot on Telegram. The sign · terms · privacy policy
